Psalm 118:1-23

Psalm 118:1-23
​1 Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is forever.
2 Let Israel now say: For he is good, for his mercy is forever.
3 Let the house of Aaron now say: For his mercy is forever.
4 Let those who fear the Lord now say: For his mercy is forever.
5 In my tribulation, I called upon the Lord. And the Lord heeded me with generosity.
6 The Lord is my helper. I will not fear what man can do to me.
7 The Lord is my helper. And I will look down upon my enemies.
8 It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in man.
9 It is good to hope in the Lord, rather than to hope in leaders.
10 All the nations have surrounded me. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them.
11 Surrounding me, they closed in on me. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them.
12 They surrounded me like a swarm, and they burned like fire among the thorns. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them.
13 Having been pushed, I was overturned so as to fall. But the Lord took me up.
